Lulworth Castle is a prominent historic site in Dorset, England, with a rich history spanning centuries. Built in the early 17th century as a hunting lodge, it has served as a family seat, a venue for royalty, and a tourist attraction, according to the Lulworth Estate. The castle has undergone significant renovations and is now open to the public, offering visitors a glimpse into its past and a chance to explore its beautiful grounds, says English Heritage.

Named after the dramatic castle ruins that sit on the high above the village, Corfe Castle is a delight to explore. Built strategically at a gap in the Purbeck Ridge, the castle dates back to the 10th century and is today owned by the National Trust. The village is built from characteristic grey Purbeck limestone and boasts a wealth of places to eat and drink, as well as many accommodation options. The walking in the region is superb, with the heaths, hills and, of course, the excellent coast path.

Unique village with it's own iconic ruin as well as great village shop, bakery and a few pubs.

No but I do now thanks very much: Corfe Castle is considered to be the inspiration for Enid Blyton's Kirrin Island, which had its own similar castle.

Did you know that the sight of Corfe Castle ruins used to be a huge source of inspiration for Enid Blyton and her Famous Five books 📚?

Nice to look at although you cannot go into the grounds. I think you can rent it through the Landmark Trust. Woodsford Castle is a rare survivor of one side of a medieval fortified manor house. Standing near the River Frome the thatched roof is reputed to be the largest in Dorset. There is a convenient to pull in to have look.
